Presenter

Peter Hunt, MD

Peter Hunt is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the HIV/AIDS division at the University of California San Francisco. His primary research focus is on the inflammatory consequences of HIV infection. His clinic-based translational research program seeks to understand the determinants of persistent immune activation both in the presence and the absence of antiretroviral therapy, and to assess the impact of immune activation on clinical outcomes. He also collaborates extensively with a multi-disciplinary team of investigators to assess the role of HIV-associated inflammation in non-AIDS-associated morbidities (i.e., cardiovascular disease) and conducts pilot clinical trials of novel immune-based interventions designed to decrease immune activation.
